Christmas Concert – Lancy-Geneva Orchestra

Conductor Roberto Sawicki leads the Lancy-Geneva Orchestra in a warm, orange-and-cinnamon scented Christmas programme celebrating the ensemble’s 50th anniversary. Three soloists — Madoka Sakitsu-Lapeyre (violin), Kamil Mukhametdinov (cello) and organist Jean-Christophe Orange — alternate luminous, spiritual repertoire that spans baroque and classical textures. From Vivaldi’s virtuosic Winter and Heinichen’s Pastorale to Bach chorale echoes and Mozart sonatas and divertimento, the evening unfolds with radiant sonorities and fresh, intimate interplay between organ, strings and orchestra.

Actor Samuel Labarthe turns Nicolas Bouvier’s fever-drenched memoir The Scorpion-Fish into a hypnotic, miniaturist tour de force: marooned in 1950s Ceylon after a headlong road trip from Geneva through the Balkans and Afghanistan, the once-ebullient traveller spirals into tropical delirium, trading human company for buzzing insects, mirage-bright visions and mordant humour that flits between the sublime and the grotesque. Under Catherine Schaub’s finely gauged direction, Labarthe channels both the lush lyricism and the slow-burn torment of this “motionless voyage,” distilling Bouvier’s languid prose into a tactile, rejuvenating elixir that lets the audience feel every bead of sweat, jolt of wonder and sting of isolation.

In French. Ages 12 and up.
